It’s long overdue that DJ Quik gets his credit man. He’s one of the pioneers of the G-Funk sound and had one of the most savage diss tracks in rap history. DJ Quik was not only a elite producer, but an elite rapper too. He influenced a lot of artists who were more mainstream than him.

No disrespect but that’s a dumb statement NWA didn’t come up and make a splash in the rap scene they pioneered it they created it without NWA I very much doubt the rap scene would be where it was without NWA and they had just parted ways when quick dropped his debut album in 91. Don’t get it twisted quick is a very talented rap artist and has produced some amazing tracks and artists and his talent is evident. And way 2 funk is always in my library But to say 3 if Dre is foolish because with out just 1 Dre everything that came after would never have happened.

@@keithdavison2960 Well, As someone who lived through those times. And has been in spaces with both producers. And as someone who has personally spoken to other ghost producers in regards to them not getting their proper credit for HUGE Dre tracks. I disagree whoelheartedly. Not taking away from Dre because no one can bring a track together more sonically than Dre. However, that doesnt set aside the fact that a lot of his hit tracks after NWA, more than not did not come solely from his hands. Again, I am a fan of Dre and have every album he has ever done. But as a producer i respect Quik more creatively becuase he does it all. When you do it all..Like Prince or Teddy Riley, that speaks volumes. Because that is hard as hell. As for Dre Pionerring Gansta rap. Not true...Look at the music video We are all in the Same Gang and you will see a few more Pionerring artist. And they were ganster as well.

His production skills are right up there with Dre”s. He been doing this for over 30 years.his sound is and was ahead of its time. He’s more than just a rapper/ producer, he really knows music and sound, he mixes albums, he is a engineer, and he has produced a lot of songs over the years. Quik did the drums on 50 Cents in the club. He did a lot of stuff that don’t know about. He may not get the props like Dre, but real Hip heads know and recognize what Quik contributed to Hip Hop.

To be fair Quik is known in the scene very well and Quik was quite well known in the 1990s. In the 2000s he did more underground stuff. He also never pushed himself into the spotlight on the bigger productions like Dre did. Dre and Timbaland for example always appeared in many videos or even on track of big mainstream rap songs. Dre even had his own spot light with the 2001 album, but especially because of all the artists he had on there. Dre also became very famous because of Eminem, who blew up globally in an insane pace. And let's not forget that he appeared in RnB videos as well. Quik has always been more low key.
